I wonder if sometime you could get Rhett or the older girls or your wife to do one or perhaps part of these voice over commentaries. I always look forward to these every week. Thank you very much for sharing and good health to you all.
watching the table scene, i had an immediate and melancholic flashback to all those lonely videos where you were doing construction by yourself. Vision accomplished!
Your experience with the gutters brought back many memories to me this morning. I decided to share my experience when you told your son to get out of the rain. There were times that my dad would tell me it was my turn to go out in the rain. Here is the story behind those times. Lot's of people like me who grew up on dry land farms in the 1950s are all too familiar with rain water "catchment", but we never heard of the term. We had gutters on the house to collect our drinking water and we had a stock pond for the cattle. We had a windmill and a tower house with a 1,000 gallon cistern mounted on it. When the wind was blowing, the windmill would pump the water up the hill to the tower and we used that water to take a bath and wash clothes. The gutters on the house supplied the drinking water which was collected in an underground, rock lined cistern. When it rained, we directed the water into the yard for the first few minutes until the rain washed away all the leaves and bird poop. Then, we would draw straws to see who be chosen to go out in the rain and turn the "flapper" into the cistern. The stock pond was not so easy to decontaminate. A cows were usually drinking, standing in the water or peeing and pooping in the pond. My dad would regularly climb up to the top of the tower and dump in a gallon of bleach to offset the poor hygiene of the cows. Most of the garbage in the water would settle out in the bottom of the tower cistern and it had two outlets. One was at the very bottom which was opened to clean out all the bad stuff, and the upper outlet which fed the home water system. Gravity fed the bath, sinks and washer, and an electric pump fed our drinking water from a separate set of pipes. I did not mention the toilet because it was 250 feet from the house and it required no water. This system worked fine until the dry season when we had to have water delivered. When I got old enough to drive, I would pull a 500 gallon tank to school each day behind my pickup and fill it up for 25 cents at the town water distribution point. Pulling a rusty water trailer behind an old, beat up International pickup was not a great way to impress the girls. Those were the days.
Pankohh You said it brother! I am impressed with Heath and Cedar raising their kids in this setting. They are not doing a bad job of it at all. Cheyanne & Rhett are good kids that are fast becoming adults. They grow too quickly. Maybe they need coffee to stunt their growth. 😁🤪
same like such a wonderful family. always willing to help, laugh, and mess up together. there anrt many families these days that are like that, atleast that i know of.
Such lovely shots... the baby goat what an acrobat... the little hens together... the amazing views from everywhere around you... the little hummingbird... I mean... EVERYTHING, beautiful, heart warming, sweet. Loved this video a lot. Thank you wonderful family. And let me add one more thing, very VERY smart comment: Made in USA, that is we should all be aiming to. Use, buy and help the economy in your country. So important right now!
My father's home where he grew up (c. 1917) had these kinds of gutters - definitely made in the U.S. - and they're still on the house. They have never failed, not once in 103 years!!!
Your Irish Wolfhound will go out and about then lay near you. The Aussie ( I think that's what Bandit is?) never stops going. Your family has blessings aplenty. Thank you for sharing your life journey with us. We are too old to do anything like that these days. So watching you and your family gives us so much enjoyment each week.
Ok my sweet friends, I must be honest. I am not so envious in the winter months but come spring,summer and fall...I am in love and very envious ❤️ I just retired at 66 yrs old and I am available for yard work 🥰 God bless you all!
I miss my family meal times together, we all got along and had fun like your family does, now everyone is spread out living away from each other, barely see each other around Christmas time, it makes me smile watching you guys! I feel like I'm part of your family through these videos! Thank you for what you do!
I always say part of my soul is still in the Colorado mountains and views like that are why. God bless you and your family and thank you for these videos they really are inspirational in times like this.
You should be extremely proud of how well you've done on your property. It's absolutely fantastic and I enjoy watching every week to see what's next. 😊🌴☀
Greetings from UK. The guttering looks real nice on the house Heath and well put together. Wish we had those beautiful humming birds flying about here. Stay safe and well. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Clip 16:25 Just watch the clouds in the background and you will be transformed into a place of tranquility and comfort -- Boy you sure have a beautiful place there! Love the gutters too!
Hello you guy's. I get your videos on a Monday morning here in Thailand. I love watching what you're doing each week. I love also your reasoning and beliefs regarding natural products, local products and made in U.S.A. Keep it up.
The most heart warming and soul satisfying videos on UA-cam ! I have enjoyed this journey with the family and can't thank you two enough for sharing your life with me. God Bless and Keep You forever just as you are! 💑
Love that view from the back of your property its breath taking, the rain gutters look great as well. It is wonderful to see a homestead or your ranch come together, you all have come a long way in sharing your dreams and your life with us all. A tip of the hat to you and your family take care be safe, and happy trails. Thanks again.
Good to see you smiling! Remember drywalling that place? haha of course you do. Your ranch is really coming together and I'm glad you're able to do it with your wonderful family. Looking forward to next weeks video!
Well done guys, appreciate just how much 'Red Poppy Ranch' means to you even after four years to stand with your son & say 'this is why'. More progress, gutters look 'just right' & totally in keeping with the house. It doesn't just happen you gave it a lot of thought. Please stay safe, life is so very precious for everyone just now. Sending hugs .. t
i did garden boxes last year for the first time and it was awesome! i had more veggies than i had prepared for, so i canned the extras and it came it super handy with this lock down situation this year👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your family makes me smile, I didn't have that type of relationship growing up. I made the change and raised my family as you have with love and caring but with discipline. my girls are now adults with their own children, they live all over the country and I don't see them near as much as I would like. I must have done well as they are following my footsteps, you have done well my friend so thank you! 👏👍😎
First let me say I'm on city water. Over 10 years now I have had two 55 gallon rain barrels costing me under $50.00. Living in Southwest Ohio we get lots of rain yet like most places we do have dry spells. What I learned when placing mine were to put them where you can use the water and if possible with a small grade allowing gravity to push the water. Understand you don't want to spend much on such a catchment system but when you shot that view from the upper gutter looking down at the new raised garden beds I decided to make contact. Do take time for a few tanks on that side of the house lots of ways to construct them and clearly you have all the skills. I will say you will find them extremely helpful when tending those new garden beds. Love following you guys do give it a go you'll never look back and say shouldn't have done that. They will give good pressure and you can run them in a series fresh free water from a easy care system next to your garden. Doesn't get better than that.
I own a seamless gutter business near Chicago, we just sold our machine that makes those half round gutters because my installers said they take too long to install! You did a fine job. I have the same ones on my house.
Great vid..good to see your looking at seedlings and food to grow..this year your going to be busy..well like most years :) UK enjoying your vids..as ever.
I personally would still install a water catchment system, you just never know when well could go out and you need water. At least you could water the garden and water animals.... Your place is awesome and yes I'm jealous.. Your living my dream.... Thank you for sharing your life story enjoy it immensely.
A simple rain barrel system could service the animals as well as the garden for a good part of the year. Maybe a good idea. So many good ideas posted here what a great community. Your rain gutter system is quite beautiful as well as functional. The hummingbird feeder is a joy to behold. I love it. Yes, I do agree. We must support made in America in every area available. We must also encourage our companies to return to America in any way possible. Personally, I feel we must create more right to work states whenever possible. It is cheaper for companies to proved good benefits directly to employees than give money to third parties who take a chunk right off the top. Finally, there are a bunch of Union pension funds that are unfunded which is outrageous. Just my opinion. ❤❤
I know you have plenty of water available - and I'm literally listening to you saying you don't need it, but seriously it just feels so perfect for one barrel right at that downspout exclusively for the garden. It's funny, I'm a huge fan of your channel and have been watching for a few years now and this is like the second comment! 😊 Man, that downspout really got me going! Seriously, though - I absolutely love what you do and the journey your family is taking. My wife says that Sunday nights are Kevin Costner Dances with Wolves night every time she hears you narrate. Keep up the great work!
Nice video. I like how you transitioned to the content with music that blended in the background . Don't worry about a rain catchment set up unless the climate changes to desert. It sounds like you have plenty of capacity the way you are. Im having a ball seeing you complete a dream of mine. Congratulations on 4 years PLUS !
Beautiful views you have there Heath! It's all flat country here in Indiana. Thanks for the Sunday upload once again! Always look forward to the Red Poppy Ranch videos!
This is the kind of life I exactly want 😭😭 watching your videos made me overwhelmed that sometimes made my tears fall idk..i this kind of life so badly 😭🥰🥰
You guys are amazing I think what you have done is AMAZING what an adventure. The excavated plot on the last scene at the dinner table looks scary. I hope that land never moves. Lovely family X
Wow, I thought you only got two little piggy's until I saw your daughter's table manners! Love the look of your gutters so much I ordered some. I have always checked my gutters with a golf ball. If it rolls slowly they are good to go!
Take care not to buy stuff that is packaged in the US but manufactured abroad. Makes me sad that the government expects us to be good citizens and strengthen our market position by buying products produced at home, but they couldn't give a rat's ass about us when we're struggling.
Hey Heath and family, living in an area where I can grow mangoes, avocados and pineapples, yep, probably best you not try there, LoL. One thing though, I don't know what your area of Idaho is like for brushfires in the dry months (I may ask my cousin Kirk who lives in Idaho Falls though.) but living in Australia and being a rural firefighter over the years, maybe a thought for you. Yes I know you don't want to go to the expense of a big tank to store rainwater in, but quite a few people here put small ones in and fit a pressure pump that feeds up metal pipes to butterfly sprays mounted on the ridgeline of the roof to protect their timber houses from ember fires. They put tennis balls I the gutter downpipes in the gutters and fill with water and if a fire comes close they fire up the pressure pump to set the butterfly sprays working. The tanks only hold so much and the overflow is plumbed away from the homestead by normal. drain pipes. All wall and roof mounted pipes are drained and left empty except when used to prevent freezing in winter.
Filling in that washout on the side of the house next to the fence with some river rock and letting that gutter system drain into it would look amazing! I know there is 1,000 ideas for every 1 project you have but I just couldn’t help myself from noticing how sweet that would look running down your front yard and it would get the boss(Cedar) some more spots for some flowers all along the rock bed. God bless you all!
It sounds like it's more a choice of where to dedicate their money than their water. I'm guessing they have a greater abundance of one of those resources the other.
He is saying at the end of the video that they have more than enough water and that is the reason why he wil not use a rain catchment system. I would install it despite of that. You never know and why not safe water, even if you have now enough.
It is so green, so beautiful, and it sooooo needs a Jersey Milk Cow..... milk, butter, cheese, whipped cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, pigs fattened on left over milk and whey, best pork you will ever eat too, beef butchered yearly, canned or frozen. AND A WONDERFUL PET!
It’s amazing how people in the comments can spend your money. Why not just celebrate your accomplishments. The rain gutters fit the house. I like them.
Any Body ,you don’t have to build the terracing out of pallet wood,i would do the lower part with a concrete footing ,onto block work to 4 foot high and slope the hill back to create layers
Superb view across the valley. Such a change from the lengthy winter. Humming bird is quite a time waster I bet. And the goats skittering along the rock barrier. Very accomplished. The house looks more and more settled on the block and sits in its site rather than on the base. Really has weathered beautifully.
Great video, one idea may be to put a catchment tank near to the garden boxes solely to water the plants (which would cost next to nothing if you know a good plumber). The land is beautiful and you are doing so well with what you are doing, keep up the good work, all the best from Britain.
I wait all week for ur vids and i hate to c them end. Ive watched almost since the beginning and ive never missed a new vid. Love what yall have built and the life ur living. Cant wait till next sunday!!👍👍👍👍👍

I'd say get a hobby or two?
@@Naturestheway I have plenty of hobbies. I was just spreading love with my comment. I'd say, mind your own.

What a gorgeous family... teaching others to laugh and work together. The home is looking real solid now. You deserve the sunshine.
Great family gathering segment. Got to love the kids.
My favourite part of the video is your family sitting around the table having a laugh. Can’t buy moments like these🙏🏼🇦🇺
While the world is going crazy, the Red Poppy Ranch is a place of serenity for your family and we the viewers. Thank you!
Keep on doing all that you do. Your family is blessed and you in turn bless your fans, thank you.

Red Poppy Ranch and Andrew Camarata my fav channels and the only only ones for whom I watch the adds completely
I had forgotten that Sunday is Red Poppy Ranch Day, So glad to see something that I really want to watch in my feed.
Great rain gutters and an even greater family! Sláinte
The rain gutters do look great, and they do match the house! What a lovely area! And what a lovely family!
I love your videos, and the views you have are heaven sent. Your a blessed family. All that hard work is paying off.
I’m so happy for you all.

Your family brings me such joy, but your perfectionism makes me laugh at you and myself, I need that now. Thanks to you all.
Can't believe it's been 4 years. Your kids and mine a growing up fast. Keep up the good work man. 👍
Heath has an amazing work ethic! May the Lord continue to bless you and yours!
From a fan here in Brooklyn: absolutely love these videos. What a wonderful family you have.
I had just watched the house build video and now the Gutters, Wow Just WOW. Amazing job and amazing family.
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! WHAT YOU’RE DOING ISN’T EASY, BUT YOU’RE ALWAYS AT IT NO MATTER!
Your family dynamic is like no other...I love it! ❤️
Love those gutters......great job.
Hello from Dublin. Ireland .
I watched 50% of your videos.....Brilliant channel.
I love the way the new gutters look! Great progress on outside projects!👍👍
Your kids are growing so fast!!! You all have come a long way from spending nights in the camper... it’s been so fun to watch!!!

Some the best videos are non-orchestrated . The end of this where y'all are enjoying time together is awesome 👍👍👍
Really satisfying to watch you install the rain gutters and fun to watch your family at dinner, great video!
You can check the pitch of the gutter with a golf ball. As long as it rolls to the downspout your pitch is good.
Wow, I am glad you shared this ❤!! I am trying to rehang my gutters so I will definitely 👍 use that tip.
Yea great idea. Thanks
Well done guys, appreciate just how much 'Red Poppy Ranch' means to you even after four years to stand with your son & say 'this is why'.

What a fantastic life..! Count your blessings! Greetings from South Africa.
The rain gutters are really nice! Love the family time at the end,
Those gutters look awesome. They match the style of your house perfectly.
So many beautiful things I would love to say I don’t know where to start. God bless you guys. ❤️❤️
i did garden boxes last year for the first time and it was awesome! i had more veggies than i had prepared for, so i canned the extras and it came it super handy with this lock down situation this year👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

First let me say I'm on city water. Over 10 years now I have had two 55 gallon rain barrels costing me under $50.00. Living in Southwest Ohio we get lots of rain yet like most places we do have dry spells.

Understand you don't want to spend much on such a catchment system but when you shot that view from the upper gutter looking down at the new raised garden beds I decided to make contact. Do take time for a few tanks on that side of the house lots of ways to construct them and clearly you have all the skills. I will say you will find them extremely helpful when tending those new garden beds. Love following you guys do give it a go you'll never look back and say shouldn't have done that. They will give good pressure and you can run them in a series fresh free water from a easy care system next to your garden.

Makes the house look trashy, and it's pointless when there are 2500 gallons up the hill.
Incredible view on the hill top

Y'all put a smile on my face. Thank you and have a safe and productive day
Great job enstalling the rain gutters Heath
My family and I also prefer to purchase products that are Made in the USA. It just makes sense. Especially now.
Take care not to buy stuff that is packaged in the US but manufactured abroad. Makes me sad that the government expects us to be good citizens and strengthen our market position by buying products produced at home, but they couldn't give a rat's ass about us when we're struggling.
Hey Heath and family, living in an area where I can grow mangoes, avocados and pineapples, yep, probably best you not try there, LoL.
One thing though, I don't know what your area of Idaho is like for brushfires in the dry months (I may ask my cousin Kirk who lives in Idaho Falls though.) but living in Australia and being a rural firefighter over the years, maybe a thought for you. Yes I know you don't want to go to the expense of a big tank to store rainwater in, but quite a few people here put small ones in and fit a pressure pump that feeds up metal pipes to butterfly sprays mounted on the ridgeline of the roof to protect their timber houses from ember fires. They put tennis balls I the gutter downpipes in the gutters and fill with water and if a fire comes close they fire up the pressure pump to set the butterfly sprays working.
The tanks only hold so much and the overflow is plumbed away from the homestead by normal. drain pipes. All wall and roof mounted pipes are drained and left empty except when used to prevent freezing in winter.
I can hardly wait till you start building your shop.
I see a couple rain barrels in Red Poppy's future.
Jeff Holland me too. water is too precious
Yeah easy to install a few. I even have 2 for my little shed. A 30 gallon (114 liter) and 60 gallon (227 liter) for watering the garden.
I like outdoor dining. Happy for you and your lovely family.
Filling in that washout on the side of the house next to the fence with some river rock and letting that gutter system drain into it would look amazing! I know there is 1,000 ideas for every 1 project you have but I just couldn’t help myself from noticing how sweet that would look running down your front yard and it would get the boss(Cedar) some more spots for some flowers all along the rock bed. God bless you all!
Waited all week for this video. Love to your family and stay safe
Why not make a rain barrel so you can draw water off of it for your garden! Especially since it it’s at that end of the house!!
Even for the animals!
It sounds like it's more a choice of where to dedicate their money than their water. I'm guessing they have a greater abundance of one of those resources the other.
I'd still think about it. Less pressure on the well.
Imo there is never an excuse not to catch rain but do what you want.
He is saying at the end of the video that they have more than enough water and that is the reason why he wil not use a rain catchment system. I would install it despite of that. You never know and why not safe water, even if you have now enough.
I love your family, you all make me smile
"Time waits for no man" Hopefully we all find time to go camping this summer.
Great enjoy your videos 👍
Hopefully we all find the freedom to go camping this summer.
@@Sigurther Hopefully it's safe to do so.
It is so green, so beautiful, and it sooooo needs a Jersey Milk Cow..... milk, butter, cheese, whipped cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, pigs fattened on left over milk and whey, best pork you will ever eat too, beef butchered yearly, canned or frozen. AND A WONDERFUL PET!
It’s amazing how people in the comments can spend your money. Why not just celebrate your accomplishments. The rain gutters fit the house. I like them.
Terracing the back area ,would make an insane garden too
Especially because pallets are used to transport chemicals that you are unaware of.
Any Body ,you don’t have to build the terracing out of pallet wood,i would do the lower part with a concrete footing ,onto block work to 4 foot high and slope the hill back to create layers
Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾 the Josue looks amazing ! Thank you for mentioning the supply companies as I am taking notes
As I've watched this over time I realize we have the same taste in design and materials. The gutters look perfect.
Superb view across the valley. Such a change from the lengthy winter. Humming bird is quite a time waster I bet. And the goats skittering along the rock barrier. Very accomplished.
The house looks more and more settled on the block and sits in its site rather than on the base. Really has weathered beautifully.
Rain collection is ideal for garden and livestock.
Nice seen the family at the table having fun
Great video, one idea may be to put a catchment tank near to the garden boxes solely to water the plants (which would cost next to nothing if you know a good plumber). The land is beautiful and you are doing so well with what you are doing, keep up the good work, all the best from Britain.
Watching your videos is so relaxing.
Nice choice on the gutters, those look awesome and durable.
You have a absolutely amazing family.
Love seeing what your building.
Can't wait for the next episode.
